Propuesta innovadora de una guía didáctica y material concreto para la consecución de destrezas de geometría

Abstract

The present proposal of educational innovation is situated within the area of geometry didactics. It is mainly aimed at strengthening the geometry skills of the seventh grade EGB students of Chico mixed public school with the use of concrete material. To carry out this proposal, a diagnosis was made by means of two information gathering techniques: a survey to the professors about the development of the teaching of geometry and a pedagogical test to the students. The results obtained showed that the majority of the students present a lack of interest, a low level of participation, as well as difficulties in the use of perimeter and area formulas when solving problems on these subjects. In this context, a proposal was developed from a constructivist approach, in order to pretend to improve the teaching-learning of geometry through the use of concrete material such as: geomapa, tangram, geoplano, among others, as well as group activities and problem according to the reality of the students.
